BMA-2 Wood chips pellets 5-70% moisture 0 to 50 °C 11 Characteristic curves
The Humimeter BMA is a moisture meter specifically designed for wood chips.
The Humimeter BMA precisely determines the water content. This enables fair billing for producers, traders and end users. After all, the price is not calculated on water, but biomass! The water content of wood chips, however, is another quality criterion: it is decisive for the calorific value and can also lead to plant problems. The control of the water content during the production and delivery of wood chips is therefore of great importance. The Humimeter BMA wood chip moisture meter is the optimal instrument to precisely determine the water content within seconds.
With the Humimeter BMA wood chip moisture meter, a water content determination can be carried out effortlessly. The measured values can be stored on the Humimeter BMA wood chip moisture meter and, if necessary, output by means of an integrated printer or transferred to a PC. With the integrated online function, stored data can be transferred to other programs.
Handling and measuring procedure
The large measuring chamber of the Humimeter BMA wood chip moisture analyzer is completely filled with the material to be measured. After you have entered the product characteristic curve, the measurement is triggered with the start button.
In a very short time, the entire measurement process with the Humimeter BMA wood chip moisture meter is completed fully automatically and the measurement results are available!

Your advantages
The BMA-2 moisture analyzer offers numerous advantages such as very low power consumption, which allows 96% power savings compared to measurement in a kiln. The measurement result is available within 30 seconds and does not require sample preparation, which allows fast and automated measurement. The high accuracy is ensured by the large sample volume of 12 liters and the integrated load cell as well as the bulk density compensated measurement. The instrument has numerous material characteristic curves as well as a memory function and a quick key for printing and saving measurement results. An automatic average calculation as well as the display of atroweight/m³ and bulk density are optionally available. A USB interface and a printer can also be added optionally.
